Click here to view a Message for our Residents’ Families

At Catholic Health Services, our commitment to our patients, residents and employees health and safety remains our highest priority during this national emergency. Working with the most up-to-date information from the CDC  and the Florida Department of Health, we continue to implement new protocols to help keep everyone we serve healthy and diminish the risk level at our facilities.

As we have transitioned to Safe in Our Care through our system-wide vaccine strategy, it is now of the utmost importance to remain transparent with our current vaccination numbers.

Our extremely high percentages provide great relief and confidence to our families and residents as they continue in our care and consider choosing our facilities for their future health care needs.
It also offers a higher degree of trust among our own staff, knowing that we work in an organization that cares for each other with as much preventive measures are as available.
